I crawl myself under an underpass and fall flat on the concrete. I can hear a few cycles riding on the road above me. It's shade, but... it's not a lot of help. I watch the water dripping from my paws. "So this is it, huh...?" It's hot. So hot, it's unbearable. One bad week was all it took... All it took for a Human to discard me like trash. I bet he didn't even care he killed me. I bet not a single Human out there cares. Nobody cares. I should just melt here like the pathetic fox I am.
I'm walking down the sidewalk, on my way to fight Volkner's gym, when I cross under a bridge. There's a strange sound. Like... sobbing?
